If you are a customer of yankeetrails.com, here’s what is being claimed, and what it would mean for you.

In 1957, Yankee Trails opened its doors with the goal of providing safe, affordable motor coach transportation to patrons in and around Upstate New York. Shuttle service between Albany and Vermont put the company on the map and continues to o ...

yankeetrails.com Listed by Qilin Ransomware Group

On April 17, 2025, the Qilin ransomware group added yankeetrails.com to its public leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the family-owned bus company that has operated motor-coach routes across Upstate New York and Vermont since 1957.

Already exposed?

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.

A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates the company’s data appeared on the Qilin leak portal hosted on the dark web. The listing states that internal files were stolen during a ransomware incident. Available details do not specify the exact number of customer or employee records involved, but the breach includes documents that typically contain names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, payment information, and driver or passenger manifests in the transportation sector. No ransom amount or negotiation status has been disclosed in open sources.

The incident follows the pattern of many ransomware cases in which attackers first gain access, exfiltrate data, then encrypt systems and demand payment to prevent publication. Yankee Trails has not yet issued a public statement confirming the breach timeline or scope.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or anyone in your household has ever traveled with Yankee Trails, booked tickets online, or provided personal details for a charter trip, your information may now sit in a ransomware data set. Names, addresses, phone numbers, and payment records are exactly the building blocks criminals need to open accounts in your name, file fraudulent tax returns, or launch convincing phishing attacks against you or your relatives.

Unverified claim — what this report is

This page documents a public listing on a ransomware/extortion group’s leak site, tracked via public threat-intelligence sources. A listing is the attacker’s claim. GalaxyWarden aggregates and reports such claims; we have not independently verified that a breach occurred, what data (if any) was taken, or the accuracy of anything the group asserts, and the named organisation has not necessarily confirmed the incident. Sections above describe what the listing shows and the group’s documented history — not verified findings about the named organisation. If you represent this organisation and believe anything here is inaccurate, tell us and we’ll review it promptly.

Editorial & sourcing policy

GalaxyWarden is a breach-monitoring service and news aggregator. We do not exfiltrate, host, purchase, or redistribute stolen data. Breach information is compiled from publicly accessible sources and threat-intelligence platforms, and is reported as claims attributed to their source. We promptly correct or remove material shown to be inaccurate — see our content & takedown policy or write to support@galaxywarden.com.
